10THE FIRST YEARS

Gianneschi Center for Nonprofit Research

Cali fornia State Universi ty, Ful lerton

Nonprofit organizations are all around us, yet the public knows little about them. People interact with nonprofits in many ways – whether as donors, volunteers, employees,

clients, vendors, or advocates – and yet, even those who are the most familiar with them may not appreciate the special position that nonprofits enjoy in our society, or why. The nonprofit form is intensely varied – supporting institutions as diverse as clubs, hospitals, art centers, schools and universities, centers of worship, environmental protection groups, benevolent societies, chambers of commerce, foundations, and affiliation groups around a constellation of issues and causes.

Cal State Fullerton recognized the need for data about this vibrant and complex sector in 1995 by commissioning the first formal study of Orange County’s nonprofit organizations, and ensuring that this groundbreaking research would continue by establishing the Center for Nonprofit Sector Research in 1996.

In its first ten years, the Center has published reports and research papers by, for, and about Orange County’s and Southern California’s nonprofit organizations. While documenting their scope and characteristics, the Center also has fostered a variety of programs designed to strengthen the sector. Key among these are programs that expose students to the sector and encourage them to pursue careers and service in nonprofit fields. The Center has been a catalyst in forming

n the first affinity chapter of the CSUF Alumni Association: the Nonprofit Professionals Alumni Association – NPAA,

n the annual $1,000 NPAA Scholarship for students pursuing nonprofit careers,

n the “Public Service and Nonprofit Leadership Certificate” in the Student Leadership Institute,

n the “Financial Planning and Management for Nonprofit Organizations” certificate in University Extended Education,

n CSUF’s “American Humanics” certificate program, n the “NonprofitConnections” website for students, faculty,

agencies and the public, n and most recently, the Nonprofit CFO Network.

the center’s original home was in csUf’s University advancement

division, under the auspices of vice president for University advance-

ment, dr. harry r. Gianneschi. on his retirement in 2001, the University

honored his many contributions and accomplishments by naming the

center for him.

The Gianneschi Center for Nonprofit Research serves the University and strengthens the nonprofit sector through its blend of research, outreach, training and networking programs.

This timeline of the Center’s first ten years documents some of the highlights of our activities to date. None of these accomplishments would have been possible without the leadership, support and involvement of the many advisors, donors, alumni, nonprofit leaders and associates named in this report. Thank you for our first decade, and please join us for the next 10 years.

Kathleen Costello MA, Director


The need for data about Orange County’s nonprofit sector emerges when the County of Orange declares bankruptcy and the interim CEO forms a kitchen cabinet to inform him of how the bankruptcy’s repercussions impact nonprofits. No one knows how many non-profits there are in Orange County, how big they are, or what their share of the local economy is. Estimates range from 200 to 8,000 agencies. Among other responses, a pool of donors creates an emergency loan fund to ensure that service delivery isn’t interrupted by the county’s inability to make timely payments on service contracts or pass-through funds from federal or state agencies.

CSUF University Advancement convenes a series of focus groups with nonprofit leaders and funders to explore research needs and support for research about the nonprofit sector.

With interest and support from the community, CSUF University Advancement commissions the Institute for Economic & Environmental Studies to conduct the first formal study of Orange County’s nonprofit sector.

Interest in the study and demand for ongoing research leads CSUF to establish the Center for Nonprofit Sector Research.

CNSR and IEES release “The Nonprofit Sector in Orange County: The First Report” at a research forum. It is the first formal report to document the size, scope and economic characteristics of the county’s nonprofit sector.

revenues) were just 26 percent of all reporting nonprofits, they claimed 95 percent of

total revenues.

CNSR and University Extended Education convene an advisory board to establish a certificate program in fund accounting and nonprofit financial management – topics that typically are not taught in accounting degree programs and are too complex for informal workshops, yet are universally needed by nonprofits.

CNSR organizes the “Nonprofit hall of Fame” exhibition in the Titan Student Union over the summer to honor over 100 CSUF alumni in leadership positions of nonprofit organizations.

CNSR sponsors the annual conference of the Orange County Association of Fundraising Professionals in the Titan Student Union, attended by nearly 300 nonprofit professionals.

CNSR develops the Orange County Nonprofit Master Database as a service to nonprofit associations and others communicating with local organizations, and as a revenue- generating strategy for the center’s ongoing operations.

A blue ribbon committee establishes the first industry chapter of the CSUF Alumni Association, the Nonprofit Professionals Alumni Association.

NPAA establishes the “Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership” in the Student Leadership Institute, along with a mentorship program and a scholarship fund.

CNSR proposes that CSUF develop an undergraduate certificate in nonprofit leadership under the auspices of the national program, “American Humanics.” Student Affairs accepts the program, and CNSR works with Student Affairs to recruit nonprofit leaders for the campus-community advisory council.

CNSR produces a new report, “The Nonprofit Sector in Orange County: 1997 economic Scope and Characteristics.”

CSNR convenes a variety of key informants in a series of focus group meetings to explore the state of philanthropy in Orange County and the report’s findings. Their responses, and highlights of the report, are presented at the “State of Philanthropy” town hall meeting and panel discussion. The “State of Philanthropy” town hall report is published online.

DR. MARY JOYCe, Gianneschi Professor of Nonprofit Marketing

Dr. Mary Joyce accepted the named professorship in Fall 2002, and began developing the educational, research, and service links between the Department of Marketing and College of Business and Economics at CSUF and the nonprofit community in Orange County, as well as surrounding and other areas. Dr. Joyce

served on the boards of Goodwill Industries of Orange County (2003-2006) and the Council on Aging of Orange County (2003-2006), and continues to be a board member of the National Policy and Advocacy Council on Homelessness (2004-present) and the Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary (2004-present). Board membership has helped Dr. Joyce to identify future service learning projects for her students, as well as other students in the College and University.

Multiple classes in marketing and business communication, as well as gerontology, have been targeted for service learning projects that involved nonprofit and social marketing, as well as social entrepreneurship. Students have completed marketing research, designed marketing communication plans, written marketing plans, and developed feasibility studies for new nonprofit ventures. Organizations that have benefitted from student efforts since the Fall of 2002 to date include: Fullerton Arboretum (satisfaction survey), California Surf Lifesavers’ Association (bi-lingual campaign targeting young Hispanic males to practice safe beach practices), Goodwill Industries of Orange County (creating a hipper image for Goodwill stores in Orange County, building B2B awareness for the document destruction business, and proposing plans for a gym

for people with disabilities), the ALS Association of Orange County (marketing communication plans to increase public awareness and donations), National Policy and Advocacy Council on Homelessness (marketing communication plans that led to a fundraising event in December of 2005, Homelessness Isn’t Funny, which was hosted by Will Forte of Saturday Night Live fame), Feedback Foundation (strategic marketing recommendations that followed from a marketing audit of the organization), and Healing Odyssey (marketing communication plans to increase awareness and donations for this organization that helps cancer survivors to take control of their lives post-cancer).

In addition, Dr. Joyce has worked with a variety of organizations in Orange County to help them with strategic planning (Goodwill Industries of Orange County, American Red Cross of Orange County, YMCA of Orange County) and research (Council on Aging of Orange County, Volunteer Center of Orange County). She is a member of the Graduate Program Council for the M.S. in Gerontology and served on the Advisory Board for the Center for the Study of the Economics of Aging. She has spoken with the Association of Fundraising Professionals group in Orange County on branding, and the Nonprofit Professionals Alumni Association of CSUF on managing through turbulent times and how to resurrect nonprofit organization trust among the public.

Dr. Joyce has recently published articles on nonprofit marketing and social entrepreneurship in several scholarly journals, and has presented in the same research areas at numerous conferences.

In addition to her Department teaching assignment, Dr. Joyce leads a graduate course on nonprofit marketing and social entrepreneurship, and has taught for the Volunteer Center of Orange County.
